“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” actor said his hectic work schedule means he never gets time to relax at home in London.

"A week ago, perhaps for 16 hours. That was the first time at home in eleven months,” he said.

"I met my friends. Some of them I haven't seen for more than a year, and I saw my parents and sisters. To go away from them after such a short time was the hardest thing I had to do in months."

Pattinson, who stars in the upcoming film “Remember Me” alongside Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, also reminisced about how he used to live in the capital before he found fame.

"I had the best time of my life,” he said. “I only had a tiny apartment but there were always friends hanging around. Usually five or six people have been staying with me. It felt so wonderfully unconventional.

"That was the life I had always been dreaming of. A bit crazy but adequate for a young actor."

He also said being famous was disconcerting because no matter where he goes he is recognized.

Robert added to Germany's Gala magazine: "I love to travel and to learn from cities and their inhabitants. Nowadays I can go nowhere without having the feeling of being watched 24/7. I do not like this feeling."
